Who Uses HFIR and SNS?
With the
High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and the Spallation
Neutron Source (SNS), the scientific
community will have access to both
state-of-the-art pulsed and steady-state
neutron sources. Together, the two
facilities are expected to attract
1,000 to 2,000 scientists and engineers
each year from universities, industries,
and laboratories around the world.
The diverse applications of neutron
scattering research provide opportunities
for experts in practically every scientific
and technical field.
Fellowship and
sabbatical programs will draw the best
neutron talent from institutions all
over the world to interact with the
resident staff and user communities.
Modern computational, communication,
and networking services will encourage
interactive science and video teleconferencing
and provide data acquisition and analysis
capabilities for resident scholars
and their colleagues around the world.

The SNS Central Laboratory & Office
Building. This facility includes offices
and laboratory space and will provide a
focus for the Joint Institute for Neutron
Sciences. (Click for larger view.)

The Joint Institute for Neutron Science
(JINS) will be built alongside SNS and will
be an intellectual center and gateway for neutron
science users. The joint institute will provide
housing for scientists and engineers from the international
community and will be a focus for expanding neutron
science research and development with participating
universities and industrial collaborators.
SNS, HFIR, and JINS will be places for neutron
science to flourish and grow.
